The word "forced" is outrageous.

Ye Rong looked at his nonchalant expression. He really didn't take the matter to heart, nor did he care if his subordinates saw the scene.

"..." Ye Rong thought again. After all, if his subordinates saw him having his tie pulled by a girl in a condescending manner, it should be Gu Weisheng who should be more concerned.

Seeing Gu Weisheng's indifferent reaction, Ye Rong suddenly calmed down.

Since the "forced" Yu Zun didn't care, then she, the "superior", had even less to care about.

The two people involved in the incident quickly put it behind them, but the small group within the company was in shock.

Ye Rong was completely unaware of this.

Two more days passed.

In the afternoon, Ye Rong took a nap in the lounge next to Gu Weisheng's office. When she came out, she saw a familiar person.

The other party had just finished talking with Gu Weisheng. When he looked up and saw her, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and greeted her before leaving.

Hiss...where have you seen me before?

Ye Rong had just finished her nap and her mind was not very clear yet. She sat on the sofa and the secretary brought her a cup of coffee.

"Thank you." Ye Rong took a sip, still thinking about the middle-aged man she had just met. She looked up at Gu Weisheng sitting at the desk, and suddenly, Ye Rong remembered.

I met him when I was at Gu Jia's house. The secretary next to Mr. Gu seemed to have the surname Sun.

The secretary beside Mr. Gu came to find Gu Weisheng. It seems that the Gu family should have known what Gu Weisheng was doing. The premise of this "knowing" is that Gu Weisheng was intentional. Ye Rong looked at Gu Weisheng not far away. These steps seemed to have been arranged long ago.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Gu family to connect all this with Gu Weisheng, the heir whom they had never taken seriously and whom they had abandoned.

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of shock this will cause in the Gu family.

Of course, by the time the Gu family realized it, it was already too late. Gu Weisheng obviously had no intention of showing mercy and he would only be more ruthless.

Ye Rong's thoughts were so wandering that she didn't even notice when someone came to the door.

"Ms. Ye, long time no see~"

The other person walked up to her and greeted her in a light tone.

Ye Rong raised her head: "Mr. Tang."

"Don't call me so strangely, just call me by my name." After Tang Zhe finished speaking to her, he looked at Gu Weisheng and smiled: "Just now I saw Assistant Sun next to Mr. Gu at the door. Is he here to see you?"

Gu Weisheng said calmly, "Yeah."

"You're really quick. Now the Gu family is in a state of excitement." After saying this, Tang Zhe paused and looked at Ye Rong who was sitting on the sofa.

Ye Rong suddenly understood and stood up: "I'll go out for a walk, you guys chat."

After that, leave space for them.

As soon as Ye Rong left, Tang Zhe started to talk about business.

"I asked someone I know to check the files from that year. The person in charge of the case was promoted a few years ago. As for the others... they either immigrated abroad or didn't know anything about the case. Since it was ruled an accident, there is really no problem with the files themselves. So, the other party said that even if a retrial is requested, there will be no result. Over the years, both physical evidence and witness testimony have been erased." Tang Zhe looked at his friend who looked calm. He didn't seem surprised. "Did you guess it a long time ago?"

Gu Weisheng did not deny it and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"..." Tang Zhe was silent for a moment. Because he knew much more, he could understand Gu Weisheng's approach, but as a good friend, he still wanted to persuade Gu Weisheng to think again. At the same time, he also knew that he could not dissuade him.

If he were in Gu Weisheng's shoes, he would only be more extreme than Gu Weisheng. He would not be able to endure for so many years and advance step by step like his good friend to get to where he is now.

"Just transfer the money to my account." Tang Zhe quickly returned to his normal state and changed the subject in a brisk tone, "By the way, the girl is not living in Gu's house now. Did you send her to the hotel?"

Gu Weisheng said without even looking up: "A courtyard outside the west city."

"......!" Tang Zhe was shocked. That was a place he hadn't been to many times. He had never seen his friends take anyone there, and Ye Rong actually lived there! He had been so devoted to her for so many years, but she had never received such treatment!

I have never seen him treat anyone specially, nor have I seen him look at any woman differently, let alone let her get close to him.

But Ye Rong was an exception.

It took Tang Zhe a while to calm down his jaw and look at his friend: "I say, what are you going to do after this?"

Hearing this, Gu Weisheng glanced at him.

Tang Zhe had no choice but to continue, "That girl is still a college student. She dropped out of school to pursue her dream, but she was picked by Wang Qiuman. She didn't achieve her dream and wasted her precious time." Tang Zhe naturally saw that his friend had a different attitude towards Ye Rong, and Ye Rong was indeed not suitable for this mess. Although his friend didn't say it explicitly, the fact that he knew that the girl's purpose was not pure but still took her directly to the courtyard outside the west of the city explained the problem.

At least, Gu Weisheng cared about the little girl very much, and subconsciously did not want her to be involved.

"If you really don't want her to get involved in this mess, why not send her back to Jingzhou? At her age, she should enjoy the simple campus life instead of being blinded by this flashy world." Tang Zhe sighed, "I think her agency is also problematic. With your methods, it won't be difficult to help her solve the agency's unfair terms. She can go back to where she came from, and you don't have to worry about her obstructing you anymore."

"..." Gu Weisheng paused. Tang Zhe's words suddenly made him realize that Ye Rong's influence on him was almost silent, and he had unknowingly become accustomed to her presence.

The signs of her presence were very obvious, but he didn't pay close attention to it for a moment.

This rarely happened to him.

Gu Weisheng half-closed his eyes. Ye Rong was different from him. He had reached the end, while she had just begun. As for her real purpose... did it really make sense to him now?

After Tang Zhe finished speaking, he did not stay long and left quickly.

Gu Weisheng regained his composure, all emotions gone, and there was no difference on his calm face.

-

Ye Rong sat on the sofa in the tea room. She picked up a fashion magazine and read it while drinking coffee, feeling leisurely and comfortable.

When the leaders who were passing by the tea room saw Ye Rong, their eyes couldn't help but stop for a moment, but they didn't dare to look at her for too long, and soon they came back.

When Tang Zhe passed by, he saw Ye Rong, who was sitting on the sofa with one hand on her chin, looking very leisurely. He stopped and walked towards her.

"Ms. Ye."

Hearing the voice, Ye Rong raised her head and saw that it was Tang Zhe: "Are you done?"

"That's all." Tang Zhe smiled, "Thank you for this period of time."

Ye Rong was surprised: "Thank me?"

"Yeah." Tang Zhe nodded. "I only heard about your injury a few days ago later. I helped Gu Weisheng block it, otherwise he would be in danger."

Ye Rong's eyebrows curved: "He thanked me."

Tang Zhe heard: "Thank you?"

Ye Rong smiled: "Yes, so you don't need to thank me anymore."

"..." Tang Zhe looked at her, but didn't ask how she thanked him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Also, his health has improved a lot during this period. Thank you for your concern."

"I didn't do anything. He listened to the doctor carefully."

Tang Zhe looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "'Listen carefully to the doctor' is too difficult for him to say."

Ye Rong paused, and when she thought of Gu Weisheng's personality, she suddenly understood.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Tang Zhe stood up and looked at her, "You go back to him."

"Yeah." Ye Rong responded.

After she returned to Gu Weisheng's office, Gu Weisheng was busy as before. Ye Rong did not disturb him and just stayed there quietly.

Ye Rong was not bored. She could always find something to do when she was alone. She checked Weibo and browsed forums, and the afternoon passed quickly.

During this time, the two executives who had previously witnessed her and Gu Weisheng's actions came again.

Assistant Qin couldn't see any difference, but the other two looked a little stiff. When their eyes accidentally caught sight of her, they quickly looked away. In short, they looked a little stiff.

Gu Weisheng was completely unaware of this. He took the plan that the two of them had brought back and nodded after confirming it: "Okay."

These two words were like a stone falling from the sky. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer so stiff.

In the evening, Gu Weisheng got off work on time.

When leaving the company with Gu Weisheng, Ye Rong clearly felt the gazes on her getting hotter, but because her mind was not on this matter at the moment, she did not take it too seriously.

After getting in the car, it drove westward, obviously not towards Gu's house.

Ye Rong was not surprised. Her attempt to persuade Gu Weisheng on the first day ended in failure.

Just... let's fight again tomorrow, maybe we'll succeed tomorrow.

Ye Rong held an optimistic attitude and sat in an extremely lazy posture.

Until Gu Weisheng next to her suddenly called her: "Ye Rong."

"Hmm?" Ye Rong looked at Gu Weisheng who was sitting opposite her.

Gu Weisheng asked: "What do you expect for your future?"

Meeting Gu Weisheng's calm gaze, Ye Rong was startled. What kind of question was this?

Gu Weisheng changed his approach: "Do you want to be a star?"

Ye Rong paused. After all this time together, if she said she wanted to do it now, Gu Weisheng would not believe a word. So, she thought for a moment and replied, "I have signed with the company, and I have to be responsible for my choice."

When she answered, Gu Weisheng did not miss the expression on her face and nodded slightly: "You should go back to school."

"...Ah?" Ye Rong was shocked. Was this topic going too far off topic?

"Don't worry about the penalty from the agency, and don't worry about Wang Qiuman either." Gu Weisheng said calmly, "I asked my assistant to book a flight for you to Jingzhou tomorrow. Qin Xun and Zhao Rui will take you on board."

"..." Faced with this sudden arrangement, Ye Rong was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"Go back to where you belong." Gu Weisheng said gently, "You are lazy and never think of the worst. It's good to be optimistic, but it depends on where you are. Whether it's the entertainment industry or the Gu family, it's not suitable for you."

Ye Rong was slightly startled.

This was the first time that Gu Weisheng's words when praising her for her good attitude did not sound sarcastic, but rather a gentle and straightforward tone, as if he was giving her some advice.

Gu Weisheng looked at her and continued, "You are just a child. You still have many possibilities in your future. Don't waste your time in a place like this."

Gu Weisheng seldom interferes with other people's choices and lives. This is the first time, and he doesn't know why this is so different.

He didn't bother to look into the differences.

"..." Ye Rong looked at the young man opposite, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If she was really just a college student, just as Gu Weisheng said, she would first consider getting her diploma and then take the postgraduate entrance examination to continue studying in her favorite field and major.

That's the route that suits her best.

But, she has a system and the country is behind her, so everything is different.

First of all, the prerequisite for returning to school is that the system is separated from her dormitory, otherwise it is no different from carrying a time bomb. And the prerequisite for the system to be separated from her dormitory is to complete the system's strategy task.

But she couldn't say a word about the system's strategy tasks.

On the one hand, the existence of the system is a national secret, and to some extent it will also bring danger to those who know about it. She can't and won't say it.

A deep-minded and suspicious person, an emotionless villain, who knew that her purpose was unclear but still put himself in her shoes... It was hard for Ye Rong to remain unmoved.

Ye Rong paused, and at the same time she knew that Gu Weisheng was about to do something dangerous.

Tomorrow's flight.

We have to find a way to delay it.

Of course Ye Rong didn't give up.

After getting off the car, Ye Rong and Gu Weisheng walked side by side.

Although she failed to convince Gu Weisheng to take her with him these two days, Gu Weisheng will stay here starting from yesterday and will still not restrict her freedom.

But Ye Rong felt that Gu Weisheng also knew that she would not run around, so he did not do such a meaningless thing.

After dinner, Gu Weisheng received a call and went to the study upstairs.

Ye Rong stayed in the living room, took out her cell phone and briefly talked about what happened the day before, and then told Sister Lin that she was scheduled to take a flight tomorrow.

Soon, Sister Lin replied.

[Don't worry, we will contact Gu Weisheng in the name of the company tomorrow. ]

Seeing this, Ye Rong felt relieved.

In the name of the company, this means that the matter can be delayed, which undoubtedly made Ye Rong feel relieved.

But soon, Sister Lin sent another message: [Also, you may have to end your role as his "fiancée" early, but don't worry. Judging from the current situation, even without the "fiancée" role, the mission will not be affected in any way.]

Ye Rong soon understood what the phrase "will not be affected in any way" meant. Judging from her current favorability, she really didn't need to use the identity of "fiancée" to gain favor.

The key point is that Gu Weisheng is determined to let her leave him.

[Okay, I understand.]

After finishing the conversation with Sister Lin, Ye Rong cleared the notes and put away her phone. She felt that she had to talk to Gu Weisheng again.

So she got up and prepared to go upstairs.

At this moment, she saw the housekeeper walk in with a tray, a glass of water, and some medicines that she had seen before.

The housekeeper saw her: "Miss Ye."

"Are you going to the study upstairs?" Ye Rong asked.

"Yes, I'm delivering medicine to the gentleman." The housekeeper said, and seeing her preparing to go upstairs, "Miss Ye is going to look for the gentleman as well?"

"Yeah." Ye Rong nodded and looked at the tray in his hand. "How about I deliver it?"

The housekeeper thought for a moment and handed the tray to her: "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Ye."
